Artistically, I am primarily a guitarist and songwriter. I have written about 16 original songs having recorded 12 of them. One of the songs I have in my repertoire was cowritten with a songwriter based in Delaware, Brian Bunnel. We collaborated through a site called Quarterlife.com. He provided the lyrics while I supplied the music. I believe that the more exposure I get the more chances I have for my music to make it. And in the off chance it doesn't happen, I can always fall back on songwriting and be a ghostwriter for other musicians who have the power to break through in the music industry. However, since I believe that my mind is a powerfully positive tool I believe in myself as others do believe in me that I can make it.

Story behind the song
No particular story is behind this song. I've had breakups which were easily forgotten and this song just reflects those and the ease of moving on with my life after dealing with the loss.
Lyrics
I keep on wondering what I'd say if this were my last goodbye/ And if the words I chose Were the ones that were to cause you to cry/ Oooh...dry your eyes/ Remembering how I felt everytime You would Leave my bedside/ Cuz all the pain I feel Just reminds me that I am still alive/ Oh yeah I'm still alive/ Chorus What a word that describes Emotions bottled up inside This hollow shell that dwells within The dim lit corners of my mind What made us stumble in This twisted tangled web that we wove/ Standing on the edge of sin Is where our love had met its repose/ Oooh...No one knows/ Of the path we took to put is in This current state of demise/ Although we know that even though The beast inside is alive/ Oh yeah, it's still alive/ Chorus Solo Now the time has come along To drift across the sea of memories/ Sailing on beyond the reaches of This perfect lucid dream/ Oh...Nothing's what it seems/ So to paint this picture just As clear as tonight's twilight/ I'll shut this casket closed On the thought that aims to keep us alive/ Oh yeah, we're still alive/
